Mary (21 / Ms. ), American, Student - Social Science living in USA looking for Au Pair & Live-in Tutor job in France, Ireland, Spain, United Kingdom & Japan for 3-6 Months

My childcare experience comes from nannying kids while their parents are away long-term, babysitting, and being a third parent to my brother, who is much younger. Currently, I have the opportunity to volunteer as a tutor for middle school and high school aged children experiencing homelessness. I've spent the most time with kids who are highly energetic and emotional, which has made me calm and patient as a caretaker. My little brother has emotional and educational special needs, and I've been very grateful to be able to learn from him. My focus with him and other kids that I've spent time with is creating habits for success for school and life in small ways such as making dependable and consistent routines for chores, schoolwork, and extracurriculars. I love to get involved with kids' hobbies, as well as involve them with my own. I also love to cook and clean! My favorite thing to hear from a parent when they get home is that they've never seen their house so clean before and my favorite thing to hear from a kid is that they want me to share the recipe I made with their parents.
